Auto Diagnostic FAQs
How do vehicle diagnostic systems work?
OBD stands for On-Board Diagnostics and is a sophisticated computer that collects vital information from a network of sensors, monitoring engine performance, emissions, and other key functions. It not only regulates various car systems but also acts as a diagnostic tool, alerting you to potential problems before they become major issues.
How long does a car diagnostic last?
While a basic diagnostic test typically wraps up in 1-1.5 hours, complex issues demanding further examination and component access/testing can extend the process to 2-3 hours. The length ultimately depends on the severity of the problem and the potential presence of multiple underlying culprits.
What is included in a car diagnostic test?
Diagnostic tests are like X-rays for your vehicle, utilizing specialized equipment to scan its complex systems and components like the engine, transmission, and throttle. From minor oil tank issues to intricate electrical glitches, these tests diagnose a wide range of potential problems. However, interpreting the data they generate requires trained professionals, making dealer shops and skilled mechanics your best bet for accurate diagnoses.

What People Say About Us
I Brought my car in for an oil change. There was a light on the dash panel that I thought was just a reminder to change the oil. Turns out that it was Nissan's version of the check engine light. Roger and his team were able to diagnose the issue and clear the light. Always great service at RST!
I'd have to say after dealing with multiple mechanics in the tri-cities area that, hands down Roger is by far the most honest and professional mechanic I've dealt with to date, I'll be upgrading my 1971 corvette from a Muncie 4 speed to a Tremec 5-speed soon, I'll be contacting Roger again in the near future, to handle this project for me, I can count on his work, and he has the integrity to stand behind his work! Kudos to Roger and the RST staff!!

I brought my recently acquired American Clipper motor home in to have the coolant system flushed and the chassis lube. Roger took care of my needs on my old motor home and I want to continue to get the same service I have come to expect.
Thank you Roger & Jamie for providing excellent service! Our catalytic converter was stolen from our beloved RV. One of my tenants recommended us to them. Our CC was discontinued, but I was able to find a compatible one. Roger ordered it, delivered next day. We brought our RV in, and it was installed, caged. Not only that, we got it smog checked also. All in 1 DAY!! Thank you for helping us out, and providing speedy service. We will definitely will be back again for service on our RV! Thank-you!
I recommend Roger. He is an excellent mechanic and he does specialize in older cars which is what I have so that's helpful for me as well. Prices tend to be on the more expensive side, but with the older car I previously had, he was one of the few who could fix it.
RST has taken care of my truck since it was born. I trust no one else to work on the truck. When they tell me my vehicle is safe and running well, I feel so secure. I am 84 years old and safe and secure is a MUST. 5 stars does not seem enough.
